And Katy Perry really stepped up her game this year, earning the top spot with $121 from the June 2017 to the June 2018 period, according to Forbes.
The 34-year-old spent much of thatperiod touring her 80 date Witness album as well as becoming a judge on American Idol - a role that reportedly earned her $29 million.
Katy's top spot comes even though her Witness album 'tanked' - selling only 180,000 copies in its first week.
And while Taylor Swift has had an amazing year having comparatively sold 1.2 million copies of her Reputation album in the first week, she racked up $117 million and took second spot.
The Blank Space hit maker is walking away from her previous label Big Machine.
